I should have predicted this yesterday since Obama thrives on small Internet donations, not big bundlers. Ah well. Delightful, and not just for the obvious reasons:

This is pretty outrageous: a group of Clinton-supporting big Democratic donors are threatening to stop supporting Democrats in Congress because Nancy Pelosi said that the people, not the superdelegates, should decide the Presidential nomination.1

It’s the worst kind of insider politics—billionaires bullying our elected leaders into ignoring the will of the voters.

But when we all pool our resources, together we’re stronger than the fat cats. So let’s tell Nancy Pelosi that if she keeps standing up for regular Americans, thousands of us will have her back. And we can more than match whatever the CEOs and billionaires refuse to contribute.

What makes it delightful? Why, the fact that Hillary went face-first into the tank to side with these cretins during the “Betray Us” fiasco, as part of her nutroots charm offensive. Not only did she refuse to denounce the ad when pressed by reporters, she voted no on the Senate resolution in support of Petraeus — which is further than even Obama was willing to go — purely and simply because it repudiated MoveOn by name. What a joy it is to see her ass-kissing of the dregs of the lefty blogosphere repaid by having them turn on her at every opportunity. Remember this, Hillary? I do. Reap the whirlwind, loser:

Breaking on Hot Air

Now a campaign finance watchdog group has tallied up how enthusiastic: the letter-signers, along with their spouses, have contributed $23.6 million to Democrats since 1999, the Center for Responsive Politics said.

That largess includes $554,000 to Clinton’s campaigns and political action committee — 10 times what they gave to Barack Obama — and nearly $3 million to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, which helps Pelosi and other House members.

It’s the worst kind of insider politics—billionaires bullying our elected leaders into ignoring the will of the voters.

This line cracks me up!

Since when has Moveon.org cared more about “the will of the voters” then the desires of it’s billionaire funders?

Here is a look at who finances Moveon.org

MoveOn has received financial support from numerous leftist organizations, including the Tides Foundation (Teresa Heinz-Kerry), the Shefa Fund, the Stern Family Fund, the Steven and Michelle Kirsch Foundation, the Compton Foundation, and George Soros’s Open Society Institute. Following a September 17, 2003 meeting between Soros and Boyd in New York, Soros and his associates gave nearly $6.2 million to MoveOn over a period of six months. The contributions included $2.5 million from George Soros personally; $2.5 million from Peter B. Lewis of Progressive Insurance; $971,427 from Stephen Bing of Shangri-La Entertainment; $100,000 from Benson & Hedges tobacco heir Lewis Cullman; and $101,000 from Soros’ 34-year-old son Jonathan Soros, an attorney and financier recently promoted to deputy manager of Soros Fund Management LLC.

I should have predicted this yesterday since Obama thrives on small Internet donations, not big bundlers.

And someone really needs to investigate that…(To make sure that one big bundler, or several big bundler’s aren’t funneling the money to small internet “donors”, just using Names and addresses, since the first $199 goes unreported.. )

All donations, 1 cent or 1 million, with no limits, are posted on the Internet by the campaign receiving the donations within 48 hours of receiving said donation. If information presented by said donor cannot be confirmed in the 48 hour period, said donation must be returned.
